2-е Коринфянам 9:9

As it is written--realizing the highly blessed character portrayed in Psa 112:9. He--the "good man" (Psa 112:5). dispersed--as seed sown with full and open hand, without anxious thought in what direction each grain may fall. It is implied also that he has always what he may disperse [BENGEL]. So in Psa 112:9. the poor--The Greek word is found here only in New Testament, "one in straitened circumstances, who earns his bread by labor." The word usually employed means "one so poor as to live by begging." his righteousness--Here "beneficence": the evidence of his being righteous before God and man. Compare Deu 24:13; Mat 6:1, "alms"; Greek, "righteousness." remaineth--unexhausted and unfailing.

In this chapter the apostle seems to excuse his earnestness in pressing the Corinthians to the duty of charity (Co2 9:1-5), and proceeds to give directions about the acceptable way and manner of performing it, namely, bountifully, deliberately, and freely; and gives good encouragement for so doing (Co2 9:6 to the end).
